CARY — Burlington’s Graham Crawford placed fourth overall and second for scoring runners in the Wolfpack Invitational for cross country to lead North Carolina State to the men’s team title as the Wolfpack placed seven runners in the top 10 at the WakeMed Cross Country Course.

Crawford finished the 5k course in a time of 15 minutes 1.9 seconds trailing North Carolina’s Isaac Presson who ran a 14:46.2.

N.C. State (20 points) easily outdistanced second place North Carolina (65) and third place East Carolina (82).

Wolfpack freshman Jacob Thompson (14:47.0) and Sebastian Hanson (15:00.3) finished with the second and third best times overall at the race, but ran unattached and therefore did not count toward the official standings.
